Lesser Being
quote:
I would like to know what the problem is that prevented god from creating a perfect being with free will.
The problem is mankind.
​
To create the perfect being, someone has to be the lesser being. Mankind made God the perfect being and mankind the lesser being.
​
As we change so does God.

Storytellers and writers created God with words.
​
They presented a perfect or complete God in need of nothing.
They also presented mankind as needing God, therefore man is incomplete or imperfect.
​
If they had God create mankind perfect, then mankind would have no need for God.
​
That is why God cannot create a perfect being with free will.
​
Mankind prevented God from creating a perfect being.
God's abilities are limited by mankind.
